Why Precision Medicine?
• Precision Medicine presents new challenges for health care
• Genetic data is increasingly used in decision making to determine best treatment
options
• Identifies tumor genetic abnormalities (mutations) to select potential targeted
therapies
• Opens a major new area for treatment of patients with advanced disease
• A Precision Medicine Platform will:
• “Get the data out of the file drawer,” and align EMR, labs and pharmacy information
• Provide decision support for targeted therapies giving better capability to locate, understand, and
act upon molecular data
• A single platform increases efficiency for ordering MDx tests and specialty meds
• Provide automated Clinical Trials matching and more efficient provider communication
• Position our service lines for a Precision Medicine future including: Cardiology, oncology,
neurosciences, orthopedics, women’s health, and behavioral health
